The conservatory also has double doors to a separate dining room.

To the front, bedroom 1 has fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, and there is a study/nursery and a large family bathroom (with airing cupboard.) Across the rear of the house there are 3 spacious double bedrooms overlooking the garden and woodland beyond.

Well maintained beech hedges lead to a large driveway flanked by raised lawns interspersed with shrubs. There is excellent off road parking and a double garage (with up-and-over door, lighting, power points, window and door to the rear garden, airsource heat pump and filter for the swimming pool.)

The south westerly facing rear garden has a patio and steps up to a raised lawn. To the side, there is a walled paved terrace surrounding the heated swimming pool which is 2.75m (9ft) deep and measures 9.65m x 4.7m (31.7ft x 15.4ft). The garden offers privacy and is adjacent to St Michaels Church to the side, and woodland to the rear.

Location: Gussage St Michael is a pretty village tucked away from main roads in a chalk valley within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, about 10 miles from Blandford Forum and 14 miles from Salisbury. It has a medieval parish church and a village hall. There is a pub (The Cockerel Inn) in the nearby sister village of Gussage All Saints. The historic town of Wimborne Minster, about 9 miles away, offers a wide range of amenities, and the coastal town of Poole and the city of Salisbury, both of which have mainline rail links to London Waterloo, are within about 30 minutes' drive. The conservation village of Cranborne, on the fringe of the Cranborne Chase, has shops, schools and pubs.
